So, who's lying?

[PandaBeat]

Thanks to td-ref's help and now knowing that the motorcycle is for sale in Chile as "Wolken XY400", I did a search on youtube and to my surprise there are a few videos of it, but there's a series of videos made by THE SAME dude of the video that td_ref posted, but now he's only saying "DON'T BUY IT, IT'S RUBBISH" and explaining all the problems he had with it and in the comments you can see that he wasn't the only one with a horror tale about it...

He's saying that:
* it was hard as hell to start on "cold mornings" (below 17º celsius he says)
* if it didn't start, after 3 or 4 attempts the battery was completely dead (thing that him and other customers couldn't fix by fitting a more powerful battery)
* the engine vibrated so bad that both plastic side panels broke (!!!!)
* he had gearbox problems and knows people that ended up with completely destroyed gearboxes
* electrical problems
* and then the dealership people would hid from him or try to charge exhorbitant sums to fix the thing...

NO THANKS.


BTW, people are saying that it's for sale in Mexico under the name "Artery XY400"

too bad i couldn't understand spanish but my humbler English.
according to this thread, http://www.moto8.cn/thread-36157-1-1.html, the bike was branded as xingyue, and the guy posted the thread says the bike is registrable in China. Since it has a choke the bike has carburettor. would be nicer if it is fuel injected.

Thanks a lot again, I'm reading the thread translated right now.

Hmmm, I think it's not the same guy in the video... good info again. So it turns out this thing is fabricated by Xingyue and it's basically the same thing as a Pitster Pro LXT 400 (with a differerent look). Now I have to find out how good are those.

OK, the QM250 is manufactured by Qingqi, and Xingyue is the manufacture of the 400 bikes. Chilexy has a Xingyue with the same engine but more dirt bike oriented. Pitster Pro is most likely having Xingyue OEM for them.

Indeed, excellent safety gear.

I saw this bike at the link below and tried to buy one here in Nanjing China as I was looking for something bigger than 250cc I could register in China and thought this might work. Every time I had someone saying they would sell to me, they vanished when I asked to fly and and see it personally with money in hand. While trying to find a real dealer near Nanjing, I found mychinamoto.com and found the Jialing JH600 thread from several guys here and bought that bike instead. Based on my efforts, I would definitely suggest to steer clear of this bike until you actually find support and/or a legitimate supplier. It is a shame as it is a great looking bike.
